Sweeping apparatus for railway ballast regulators

摘要

An improved broom element, means for loosely attaching the broom element to a broom element holder and orientation of broom elements on a broom reel of a railway ballast regulator is provided. The apparatus significantly reduces the time and effort required for maintenance of broom elements and reduces the stresses which can increase the wear on the broom elements and the sweeper unit of the ballast regulator.
